I actually think this might be good, imagine communities that will benefit from the involvement of professionals like therapists or nutritionists (like for stopping to smoke or drink alcohol or losing weight). If it has a market a lemmy alternative for that i think is definitely on the table.
I disagree. The Reddit community at large is a bunch of spiteful shitposters who’ll spin anything and everything you put infront of them. They’ve done this for years.
It is the worst place for anyone with mental instability issues to frequent or seek advice in. Mainly because as we all know, Spez doesn’t give a shit about anyone’s privacy so anyone can just comb through your profile and stockpile ammo from you. Things you wouldn’t tell anyone else - now it’s in their hands. Information you thought was “safe” - now they know.
There are other places out there that are more knowledgable and credible than Reddit pretends to be. Plus, they care about privacy. Like there’s a suicide forum out there that will not let anyone outside, who hasn’t registered anyways, to view the contents of the forum. Does Reddit do that? No, not even if you’re a subscriber!
I don’t see a lot of dietitians, therapists, nutritionists, psychologists .etc spending all of their hard work to get the credentials to be where they want to be, just so they can offer sound and legitimate advice on a platform that doesn’t give a single shit.

In my experience lemmy users are worst on average , but maybe it depends on what kind of sections of lemmy and reddit you use.

the benefits of communities of practice for learning are documented in research, in terms of communities of practice for self improvement for example i found nothing better then r/selfimprovement (and i spent a fairly large amount of time trying to find one). It’s very helpful when people just share what helped them.
